Reminisce

I lye winds are whispering On a bed of packed snow I speak, no one's listening And time, it moves slow As I gaze upon lines of crystalline trees I'm adrift in a dream, of things that may be I stand, the sun is shining On a pier aside a lake I look to reflections, blinding As waves so gently break I find myself focused on moments all passed Each day brings a challenge, and time it moves fast I sit, walls a prison From this chair I never rise Confined by age not decision A younger man always denies That he one day would silently miss Going outside to reminisce

Well Joe, I missed this one!:( A very profound man you be, Joe Incatasciato! Melancholy. It would be heart wrenching to remain seated indoors when there's so much happening outside. Beautiful imagery, this fills the senses "winds are whispering".."reflections, blinding". The beauties of nature. No one could ever feel truly alone. Best to you and yours, love, Mikki
